"A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability."

Appearance: Perfectly transparent with a bright golden colored body under a thick fluffy head that stands up for a long time. Great visible carbonation. It looks perfect.

Aroma: Mild spicy hop aroma and that familiar lager tinge. I can clearly pick out the spicy hop aroma though.

Taste: I’m literally picking up no flavor at all. There’s a bit of a cereal flavor at the end, but even that is watered down. It really does taste just like water. I won’t give it a 1 because it doesn’t taste disgusting, it literally just has no flavor...and I’m not saying that to be mean. I’m looking for flavor of any kind and I get none.

Mouthfeel: It’s crisp but it doesn’t give much presence in the mouth. Average at best.

Overall: Skip this beer. An adjunct lager does not mean the beer has to be flavorless, which this is. I recommend passing on it.

Sadly, this beer falls into the same unexciting category of most pale lagers. No real aroma with a slight hint of corn. Unattractive light yellow color with a lot of effervescence. Light watery palate. Taste was bland and slightly grainy with hints of corn or rice. Better than most American macros, but that’s not saying much.

Gedronken in een pub in Londen:
Een goed doorzichtig, geel bier met een stevige compacte kraag. Het aroma is niet echt aanwezig, maar wat er is, is iets hoppig. De smaak doet iets waterig aan, maar de hint van graan is volop aanwezig. Een heel licht bittere nasmaak blijft achter.
Tried it in a London pub:
A really nice transparant yellow beer with a firm layer of foam. It doesn’t have quite an aroma, but if there is any, it is hop like. It has a watery structure, but there is a lot of grain in the taste. A quite subtile aftertaste remains.
